Message: [QUOTE="Divebitch, post: 1026900, member: 39020"] Shortened your post a bit, hope you don't mind. Good point about poker being many games. I think though, what Cowboy was trying to say is that I can play [B]any[/B] game to win [B]any[/B] way I can - and still walk away and be who I am (or was?). It was very well intentioned, although I don't think he realizes how hard an adjustment it might be. While I feel like 'crouching tiger' with certain tablemates' play, and can't wait for any opportunity to blow them away, I feel [B]awful[/B] making some BS move that makes someone (who I think is tight, earned his chips, doesn't raise with junk, or even try to steal in every HU checking match) fold. So, I fully agree with the notion of playing something you like and are suited to (since there's plenty of alternatives to NLHE to choose from), as opposed to forcing yourself to make adjustments that go against the very grain of your personality or temperament. Also agree with you that if you are going to play (as I enjoy CC freerolls and would like to do the buy-ins too), might as well try to improve my game. Funny, most of my Round 2 tix at PS have been limit as well, but well over half in Omaha (even 2 in NL H/L :eek: ). Can't wait to use the 11 I've stock-piled since Sept.. All the games I like are Sunday at 2, which = football time. Guess they'll come in handy in the dog days of winter. :p Thanks much for the thoughtful reply & encouragement. Interesting. I'm not so sure this is possible for everyone. Perhaps a better way to say it is 'be the best person (or in this case, NLHE player) you can or wanna be, whatever shape that takes. And I [B]can[/B] be quite aggressive and assertive in many situations. It's just that I have to work on it a lot [B]harder[/B] than some at it when the [B]larger degree[/B] (than limit) of elements inherent in NLHE (i.e. bluffing, bullying, not to mention risk if you are called, raised) are present. But good points. The Harrington books are 'on the truck', and hopefully will provide [B]some[/B] means to that end.:D My game too, and hope to improve even more when Hwang's book gets here, every little bit helps. Wouldn't the occasional Omaha freeroll be fantastic? I honestly don't think there's anyone here that would turn down playing just because they prefer NLHE. I mean [B]we [/B]play our NLHEs when we'd prefer Omaha, right? :p Thanks for the reply! [/QUOTE]
